Canned Food Drive for Walthill Food Shelter

The canned food drive was a great success. In total, 1,230 lbs. of
canned goods, cereals, and paper products were raised to aid an Indian
Reservation in Walthill, Nebraska. The senior class narrowly edged out
the sophomores by raising 370 lbs. The second, third, and fourth
positions are as follows: the sophomores produced 360 lbs., the freshman
raised 295 lbs., and the juniors totaled 205 lbs. The canned goods
were delivered to the reservation by Fr. Dan Wittrock who is pastor of
St. Augustine parish in Winnebago, NE. Fr. Wittrock was extremely
pleased with the amount of cans generated in our drive. He commented
that many shelters are running low on food products this season, and our
efforts will alleviate the need for food in his community immensely. In
addition, Fr. Wittrock noted that the unemployment rate at the Indian
Reservation is currently 86%. We are grateful for all the support we
received during this drive, and we thank those who donated time and
money to this worthy cause. - More Photos
